Pleiness Lake

Pleiness Lake, also known as Lost Lake, is a natural lake located in Eden Township, Mason County, Michigan in the northwestern part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. History Native American settlement Tribes of the Ottawa people native to Michigan originally spanned from the Grand River to the nearby Pere Marquette River, with tribes migrating throughout the seasons between settlements. In 1855, a federal treaty between nine tribes of the Ottawa, which would later be known as the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, established the Pashawsey Indian Reserve, which settled the Ottawa into modern day Eden Township along the lake. Ownership of the lands in the area was never determined and many moved back to the Manistee River or had left lumber camps in Wisconsin by 1900. Pleiness family In 1881, John Jacob Pleiness moved into the area at the age of seven with his mother and father after their home at Fort Hope was destroyed in a fire. In the 1890s, Pleiness established a blacksmith shop on the southeastern plot near the lake, which was then known as Lost Lake, and later established a farm. Between 1887 and 1909, the Mason and Oceana Railroad operated directly south of Lost Lake. The area and much of the United States experienced an extreme drought in the summer of 1930 shortly before the Dust Bowl period, which occurred for most of the decade. Pleiness' son, John Jacob Pleiness Jr., reported in September 1930 that the lake's waterline fell about 26 in (66 cm) to its lowest level in over 40 years. Modern history In October 1941, communities proposed to change the name from Lost Lake since there were another 25 lakes in Michigan with the same name. It was proposed to rename Lost Lake to Pashawsey Lake in October 1941 to recognize the Pashawsey Indian Reserve that once incorporated the lake into its area, with "pashawsey" meaning "light" in the Ottawa language. At the meeting, the decision of Mason County supervisors was to rename Lost Lake to Pleiness Lake. In the summer of 1942, there was little resort activity at the lake. John Jacob Pleiness died on November 22, 1948. Since then, cottages have been constructed on the lake and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and county constructed a boat launch and outhouse in the southern portion of the lake. Ecology Fish In the early 1900s, the Michigan Board of Fish Commissioners began planting fish into Pleiness Lake. On August 15, 1905, 75 adult largemouth bass were introduced and an additional 1,500 largemouth bass fingerlings were introduced on July 12, 1906. Fish inhabiting Pleiness Lake include: Plants In the 1940s, Eurasian watermilfoil, a submerged aquatic plant, was introduced into North America and became invasive. Similar to other lakes in Michigan, Pleiness Lake has had to combat the growth of Eurasian watermilfoil, with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality partnering with Mason County to spray the lake when necessary.

Brooks Field was officially dedicated in 1931, although the first plane landed there on November 9, 1929. Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Air Transport Association (IATA), this airport is assigned RMY by the FAA and no designation from IATA. It is included in the FAA National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a local general aviation facility. Facilities and aircraft Brooks Field covers an area of 170 acres (69 ha) at an elevation of 941 feet (287 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 10/28 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,501 by 75 feet (1,067 by 23 m).

Stancer Road–North Coldwater River Bridge

The Stancer Road–North Coldwater River Bridge is a road bridge carrying Stancer Road over the North Coldwater River in Union Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is an excellent example of a pinned overhead Pratt truss bridge, which was once common in Michigan but is now quite rare. History This bridge was constructed by the Massillon Bridge Company, likely in 1888. It was probably commissioned by the local township, although no information exists regarding its construction. The bridge is now closed to vehicular traffic although it is still open for pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge was rehabilitated in 2007. Description The Stancer Road Bridge is a six-panel pin-connected Pratt through truss bridge, spanning 88 feet and 14 feet wide. The substructure consists of concrete abutments with concrete wing walls over stone. The truss is wrought iron, made of back-to-back channels or paired bars. A modern metal guard rail is installed on the bridge, and a wooden deck is laid across the I-beam flooring. The number "88" appears in the center of the bridge plates, likely indicating the year of construction. An old dam spillway is located near the bridge.

Abram C. Fisk House

The Abram C. Fisk House is a private house located at 867 East Chicago Road in Coldwater, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. History Abram C. Fisk was born in Penfield, New York in 1815. He moved to Coldwater in 1835 and married Catherine Smith soon after. In 1840, the Fisks settled on an eighty-acre farm at this site, straddling the Chicago Road. They built a house on the south side of the road, near the current house. There Fisk raised horses, and gained a reputation as a leading thoroughbred breeder. In about 1861, the Fisks began construction of this house, finishing it within a few years. Abram Fisk died in 1897, and the farm and house were passed on to his son, William. In 1914, it was sold to Charles and Lena Moore, who passed it to their daughter, Eleanor Barthel. It was later sold to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bohnenstadt, who used the house as an antique shop, and then Elizabeth Jewell purchased the house in 1961. On Elizabeth's death in 2000, the house passed to her son Philip Jewell. In 2012 Jewell began an extensive restoration of the house. As of 2016, Philip Jewell and his wife Catherine operate Blue Hat Coffee shop and roasters out of the house. Description The Abram C. Fisk House is a two-story red brick Italianate structure with a hip roof crowned with a cupola. The house measures 40 feet by 40 feet and stands on an ashlar stone foundation. The facade is symmetrical, and is decorated with raised brick pilasters and arched head windows. The eaves are supported with oversized paired brackets, shaped in a wheel-with-daisy pattern. A Colonial Revival porch spans the front of the house; this was likely added around 1900. The entryway is through a double door flanked by double-hung one-over-one windows. On the interior, the house has a square plan. The first floor originally contained a central hall, sitting room, parlor, dining room/ kitchen, and a small bedroom. The second floor originally contained four bedrooms and a bathroom. The ceiling height throughout the house is twelve feet. 1879 Gallery See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Branch County, Michigan References External links Blue Hat Coffee
R. E. Olds Transportation Museum

The R.E. Olds Transportation Museum is named for Ransom E. Olds, founder of Oldsmobile and REO, and is located in Lansing, Michigan. It is one of the top-rated automotive museums in the United States. Collection The R. E. Olds Museum houses a diverse collection of Oldsmobiles dating from 1897 to 2004. The 1897 Olds, one of four built that year, is on loan from the Smithsonian Institution. There is also a replica of the 1893 steam carriage built by Ransom E. Olds on display, prior to the founding of the Olds Motor Works, which was the official name of Oldsmobile until the 1940s. This museum also houses automobilia covering nearly a century, including a nearly complete collection of Michigan license plates, early traffic signs and a working 1950s-era traffic signal. A bicycle collection shows the connection between early automakers and cycle makers who had the tools, know-how and creativity to successfully produce an automobile. It also houses a collection of REO vehicles from the company that Ransom E. Olds created after he resigned from Oldsmobile. A well-known vehicle from that company is the REO Speed Wagon, the namesake of a major band by the same name. Another well-known truck that was made by a successor of that company is the Diamond REO. Another significant part of this museum's collection are items from the Ransom E. Olds household. The R. E. Olds Museum collection includes multiple electric cars, including an 1899 Olds Motor Works Electric and a 1996 General Motors EV1. The EV1 in the museum's collection is one of approximately 40 that were not destroyed when the EV1's entire production run was recalled in the early 2000s. The last Oldsmobile built, a 2004 Alero GLS, was displayed at the museum after it rolled off the assembly line at Lansing Car Assembly. The "Final 500 Collector's Edition" (#500 of 500) Alero sedan in Dark Cherry Metallic paint was on display at the museum until 2009, when it was moved to the GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights. The final Oldsmobile was sold to a collector in Florida in late 2017. History Plans were in the making for an automotive museum in Lansing as early as 1977. The R. E. Olds Museum opened in May 1981, following years of planning and preview events. Highlights of the initial collection included a 1911 Oldsmobile Limited from the Oldsmobile factory collection, and the first Oldsmobile Toronado produced. The museum's building holds a place in Lansing's automotive history, as the home of the Bates automobile. The building was subsequently used as a beer warehouse, and was the original bus garage for CATA at its inception in 1972. Converting the building to a museum required substantial work, performed mostly by volunteers. The city leased the building to the museum for $2 per year until 2018, when the museum purchased the building for $2. The Olds Museum was featured on American Pickers in 2011. The museum was the buyer of a 1908-vintage license plate used by the Oldsmobile factory on its test cars.

Observatori Detroit

L'Observatori Detroit és un observatori astronòmic que es troba a la cantonada dels carrers "Observatori" i "Ann" a la població d'Ann Arbor, Míchigan,als Estats Units d'Amèrica. Construït en 1854, va ser la primera instal·lació de recerca científica en la Universitat de Míchigan. Diversos homes de negocis de Detroit i membres de la comunitat van aportar els fons, d'aquí el nom que rep l'observatori. Es van instal·lar una sèrie d'eines astronòmiques per a l'estudi, incloent-hi un telescopi de trànsit meridià de 6 polzades (15 cm) Pistor & Martins i un telescopi refractor de 12 ⅝ polzades (32 cm) fabricat per Henry Fitz (fill). El Fitz va ser el tercer major telescopi del món quan es va instal·lar en 1857. L'Observatori va florir durant el segle xx, la qual cosa permitó la construcció de diversos afegits a l'estructura original, inclosa la residència del director i els espais per a aules i oficines. Durant la segona meitat del segle, amb la disminució en l'ús dels instruments i l'espai, juntament amb la construcció de nous edificis de la universitat, els afegits van ser demolits. Avui dia, l'edifici manté l'estructura original de 1854. La funció de l'Observatori Detroit al campus va passar a l'Observatori Angell Hall, que es va completar més tard, en (1927). Entre els anys 1960 i 1970, l'observatori va ser abandonat i la universitat va proposar la demolició de l'edifici. Això va mobilitzar a un grup de ciutadans preocupats per preservar l'edifici de la destrucció i, en 1973, l'Observatori Detroit es va col·locar en el "Registre Nacional de Llocs Històrics". Encara que l'edifici es va salvar de la destrucció, l'Observatori necessitava ser restaurat. En 1994, es va presentar una proposta a la Universitat per restaurar l'estructura de 1854. Transferits a la nova direcció de l'Oficina del Vicerectorat de Recerca, l'observatori va ser capaç d'obtenir els fons necessaris per a la restauració. Entre 1994 i 1999, l'observatori Detroit va ser restaurat de manera significativa. Es van restaurar les cúpules dels telescopis, en la part interior es va afegir una cambra de bany i en l'exterior accessos per a discapacitats i senderes. Sota la nova adreça de Patrícia S. Whitesell, l'observatori Detroit va obrir de nou les seves portes al públic, oferint visites guiades (però sense ús dels telescopis històrics), sèries de conferències, així com moltes altres activitats d'índole educativa. En 2005, l'Observatori Detroit es va convertir en una divisió de la Biblioteca Històrica Bentley. Els Observatoris de la Universitat de Míchigan són: l'Observatori Detroit (1854), l'Observatori Angell Hall (1927), l'Observatori Terrestre Lamont-Hussey (Sud-àfrica, 1928) i l'Observatori McMath-Hulbert (Llac Angelus, Míchigan, 1930).
